While we have been appealing to our customers for reductions to
electric power usage during the morning hours for the last couple of
days, this morning that appeal has become critical. TVA, the electric
power provider for Glasgow, this morning instituted their Emergency Load
Curtailment Plan due to extreme conditions regarding their generating
capacity.

For the stability of
the electric power grid across the multi-state region, it is essential
that all Glasgow EPB customers redouble their efforts to reduce demand
through 11:00 am today, January 7. Lower thermostats, switch off
electric water heaters, refrain from using major appliances.

This crisis should end with the warmer air coming later in the day. Until then, please heed this warning!
